Roof Hail Damage

Roof repairs with hail damage like we see often here in Tulsa are
becoming more and more needed with the past years storms. Hail is
dangerous to your home or commercial roof because it decreases the
roof's life expectancy. Damage to an asphalt roof occurs when the
protective granular surface of the asphalt shingle loosens and falls
off. With the granules removed the shingle loses some of its
protection, shortening the lifespan of the roof and making it more
susceptible to additional damage.

Hail can strike in any season. Hail stones can vary from pea size
to 7” in diameter and anything larger than 1-3/4” has the potential
to inflict significant damage. All too often, roofs sustain severe
damage during a hail storm but owners and building occupants won’t
realize any damage has occurred until the roof is beginning to leak.
In most of the country, asphalt shingles are the primary roofing
material used on roofs in general. Some common signs your roof has
been damaged by a hail storm are; Dents or bruising on the roof's
asphalts shingles, Granules are missing from the shingle (roofing
shingle has ‘bald spots’), Affected roofing shingles feel softer to
the touch, Granules are present in the gutters or at the base of
downspouts, Metal air vents, gutters and siding are damaged and
dented.
